Just filled my script Walgreens wanted over $1000 for for just $42.00. It's not just the greed of big pharmaceutical. I'm sorry Walgreens gonna have to be going the cheap route for the exact same pills.

But it'll make stocks go up and rich people richer! Woooooo

Yep, because the only option here is screw sick people that need cheap drugs. You know, instead of maybe making all the drugs affordable during a difficult time like, say, a fucking pandemic.

This is bullshit.

I’m a YouTuber just trying to spread my wings out here . This is my new video. can you RETWEET so I can elevate here thanks. Video link :

Damn good reason for drugs to be manufactured domestically, correct?

Not if you Legalize all drugs

This is terrible. In Canada we have to pay for prescriptions if not covered. But they have to substitute the brand name if they don’t have the generic. This is AMERICA?

there shouldnt be generic and name brand. a drug should do the same across the board, no matter what label is on it. also, ppl need to really look into the mental medications they are being prescribed. if i gain 3 problems to fix 1, is that fixing anything?

Obama ruined our healthcare system.

America will end up nuking somone if they don't give out the medicine needed (wonder which country released the virus?) (wonder which country has the meds) think the Americans will end up nuking one country for killing millions because of this biological weapon released. poor usa

Is it just me, or is Capitalism & healthcare just not very compatible? We may never know🙃

Is this a Big Pharma pump and dump?

No shit

No kidding

Who said that would happen I want proof

Oh dear... maybe companies need to come back instead of being in China who makes 95% of our drugs and then we get to shop them back here.. so stupid

Omg so scary

CAN WE GET SOME LEADERSHIP HERE! NO1 SHOULD GO WITHOUT THEIR MEDS, NO1 ESPECIALLY HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FOOD/SHELTER OR MEDS!

not just low income Americans. the difference in cost between generic and name brand even for those with insurance can be crushing, especially if it's for a long-term rx

So, who’s ready to reinvest in domestic manufacturing?

Well that's F****** Brutal

So not only will the virus take many of the low income and working poor (essential workers) now a drug shortage of cheaper drug will add to it. Then Trump adm.taking ACA away. Yeah American kills it poor who will work for the rich?

Its almost like corporate globalist agendas, and profit seeking, hurts poor and working class people the most. Who wold have thought?

why not provide them with the vitamins and minerals those drugs were inspired from? They didnt just pull it out of thin air!

Pfizer sues for U.S. permission to assist patients needing expensive heart drugsPfizer Inc filed a lawsuit on Friday seeking to require the federal government to let it help Medicare beneficiaries afford two drugs to treat a rare and sometimes fatal heart condition, and which cost $225,000 a year. Bright idea: Instead of subsidizing it they could just sell it at a reasonable price. The basic premise of what they want to do is subsidize copayments so people can afford to have the government pay for the overpriced drug. Pourquoi les prix sont si élevés? Simplement parce qu'il sauvé la vie de quelqu'un. Il n'y a aucune autre raison car ce ne sont pas les ingrédients dont ils se servent qui sont dispendieux. :( 'The drugmaker said the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General is blocking it from offering financial aid to patients' Wow, the Government really doesn't care if ppl die does it?
